While we all deal with the uncertainty of Covid-19 and its impact of our health and well-being, it is important to remember that things will get better.  None of us can know exactly when, but we can take comfort in knowing that the situation will improve.  Even after the immediate crisis subsides the economic impact will be far-reaching and long-lasting.  We at the American Board of Certification and our certified attorneys should continue to lean on each other for support and guidance.  It is precisely times like these that our clients, families, and communities rely on our professionalism and experience.   Please remember to abide by the regulations promulgated by the CDC while keeping your practices running and feel free to reach out to us with any questions or concerns you have.  Our organization continues to function for the benefit of our certified attorneys.

In response to recent health events, the closure of many state offices, and the cancellation of in-person CLE conferences and seminars, the American Board of Certification has determined that the requirement in Rule 3.1.4 that at least thirty hours of CLE must be satisfied at live, in-person CLE is temporarily waived for those who must recertify in 2021.  Attorneys who must submit recertification applications by the date of June 30, 2021, can now complete all or any portion of the Rule 3.1.4 CLE requirements through online programs offered by state-approved CLE providers.
